Hey Dave,

I was wondering what your thoughts are on what it's like to be a 40 year old.

If you'd like, you can get back to me on this in a few days.

    My arthiritic fingers are barely able to answer... I have only a week left and then I think I shall be unable to read (until I get my new verifocals that is).

    I stopped myself from my first instinct... deleting ScottyZ's post altogether.

    Ah yes... forty... and, for the first time in PokerForum.ca history... I will us a smiley... :frown:

    Sorry.

    Happy early birthday!

    I just realized that I never put my own birthday on this forum. You can get your revenge in 2014.

    Probably almost the same as being 30, just 10 years older ?
  • Dave ScharfDave Scharf
    Nope... 30 was better.

    Thirty is a great age because you are still "in touch" with 20 year olds. You can go to the bar and not be "the creepy leering old guy." Yes, it's not until thirty that you are welcomed into the fraternity of "grown ups." Fifty year olds begin giving you some respect for knowing something about the world.

    At forty, I have lost touch with university freshmen. There are a lot of noticeable age gaps -- mostly pop culture references.

    My first significant generation gap experience was actually in my 20's (but the late 20's).

    I was a TA for a 2nd year course, and made some quick joke using New Kids on the Block as part of the subject material.

    Blank stares.

    My response was somthing like, "I must be getting old." One of the students asked what year I was in. I thought on it for a moment, and replied, "Ninth."

    It's ultimately up to you whether you want to be in-the-know with pop culture.

    You can't walk around with blinders on and then exclaim, "I can't see!".

    As if there weren't enough of a slew of cheesey boy-bands / girl-bands to choose from... lol

    At least you didn't mention The Monkeys.

    Cheer up sleepy Jean lol

    I make my living being all over pop culture. But, there is nothing I can do to make a 19 year old understand that Jim Kirk is my moral compass.

    WWJD. What would Jim do?
  • screenmanscreenman
    Better hurry to catch up Dave I almost have you lapped. Yes the sex is still good after 60.
  • mragmooremragmoore
    Who's Jim Kirk? lol
